Looking Back Over The Week

I’d like to start by congratulating Justin Mehmet on picking up a silver medal at the EventsBJJ NSW Championship last Sunday! Justin recently started training with us at Jiu Jitsu Kingdom by way Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Legend Marcelo Garcia who he trained with back home in New York City, USA. Justin did a great job winning one match on points, two matches by submission, before losing in the final. Congrats Justin, we’re happy to have you as a part of the Jiu Jitsu Kingdom team while you are here in Australia!

On that note, I’d also like to take a moment to thank fellow Marcelo Garcia student, Mark Ronquillo for stopping by and training at Jiu Jitsu Kingdom while he was over here on business. It was a pleasure to have you on the mat training with us mate and you are most welcome to stop by anytime you are in Sydney, Australia! Otherwise I am sure I will see you again on the mat at Marcelo Garcia’s New York Academy in the future!

The Monday night Coaching Course group are coming along nicely and are starting to look very sharp! I’m excited about the rapid progress you are all making. 🙂 Keep up the great work guys and I am sure you will all go on to bigger and better things in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu world!

Training at Jiu Jitsu Kingdom has been great this week and everyone’s guard passing is starting to look a lot sharper. Stay tuned for more guard passing next week and let’s take our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu game to a whole other level! There are a few competitions coming up so lets continue to work hard and put our skills to the test! Remember its all learning and experience. And as great as it is to win, we learn far more from losing so don’t be disheartened if you lose a match, learn from it and bounce back hungrier and better than ever!

Finally I’d like to take a moment to thank Marcus Flanagan for helping me out and teaching Friday’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class at Jiu Jitsu Kingdom for me while I was at home looking after my son Hunter. I heard it was a great class, thanks again mate! Well that’s it for now, have a great week-end and I hope to see you on the mat next week!
